I consider myself as a advanced when it comes to coding in JavaScript or jQuery however recently I played a bit more with this language and stumbled upon a number of random things i assumed were worth sharing.

So, if you are new to JavaScript or simply don’t understand it as well as you'd like, I hope you find this article helpful. 1. 0 ==…

Searching for errors in programming code is called code debugging. Debugging is not easy. But fortunately, all modern browsers have a built-in debugger. Built-in debuggers can be turned on and off, forcing errors to be reported to the user. With a debugger, you can also set breakpoints (places where code execution can be stopped), and examine variables while the code is executing. Normally, otherwise follow the steps at the bottom of this page, you activate debugging in your browser with the F12 key, and select "Console" in the debugger menu. Have you recently checked out Google Plus because they implement some awesome effects? I…

JavaScript support is very good on modern mobile browsers. The mobile version of Firefox and Chrome provide pretty much desktop-level support for HTML5(CSS 3 + JavaScript + HTML 5 ) features. Most mobile phones are running some version of WebKit (what Chrome runs on), so you're pretty much guaranteed better support than IE8 provides if you're developing for mobile. Detecting Mobile Devices Instead of using jQuery you can use simple JavaScript to detect it: if( /Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry|IEMobile|Opera () ) { // some code for mobile } or you can combine them both to make it more accessible through jQuery. $. =…

Here is a pure CSS experimental work to create a aquarium. Image / javascript hasn't been used for aquarium or it's animation. I have used jQuery only for random air-bubbles. All these animation is created by Pure CSS. Some times ago, I had written a article about "Animated bubbles upwards continuously with pure CSS". You can also use this trick for air-bubbles. For Creating Aquarium's water, sand, rocks and plants few lines of HTML required. The HTML <div class="bubbles"></div> <div class="ground"></div> <div class="rock_1"></div> <div class="rock_2"></div> <div class="rock_3"></div> <div class="rock_4"></div> <div class="rock_5"></div> <div class="rock_6"></div> <div class="rock_7"></div> <div class="plant_1_wrap"> <div class="plant_1"></div> <div…

One year ago, I had posted a puzzle game called “Doraemon Puzzle”. It was developed with the help of most powerful JavaScript library jQuery. Now, I have developed a game using CSS only. Have you remembered a favorite game which we always played in school/collage days? Yes this is "Tic-Tac-Toe". My version works as any normal Tic-tac-toe game would: 2 players can play against each other, it can result in either a win or a tie. Players can also restart the game. HTML <div class="tic-tac-toe"> <input id="block1-1-1" type="radio" class="player-1 left first-column top first-row first-diagonal turn-1"/> <label for="block1-1-1" class="turn-1"></label> <input id="block1-1-2" type="radio"…

Hi friends, today we are going to see a cool example of animated 3D Background using HTML5 <canvas> and javascript. The <canvas> element is part of HTML5 and allows for dynamic, script-able rendering of 2D shapes and bitmap images. It is a low level, procedural model that updates a bitmap and does not have a built-in scene graph. The <canvas> element is only a container for graphics. You must use a script to actually draw the graphics. Canvas has several methods for drawing paths, boxes, circles, text, and adding images. What is canvas element in HTML? Canvas was initially introduced…
